PROVIDENCE, R.I., Nov. 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While many swimmers focus on their arms or kick, they may be surprised to learn that they just might need to work on their breathing. Aimed at tri-athletes and lap swimmers, veteran swimming coach Win Wilson discusses the common errors that people do in a competition or for exercise, in a book that materialized from years of observing and coaching both amateur and professional swimmers aptly entitled Good Swimming.
A Masters swim competitor for several years, Win Wilson developed swimming techniques from observing what even the best athletes do wrong and what even beginners do right in this all-body aquatic sport. He noticed that some swimmers could do better if they improved their breathing method, especially tri-athletes who are very well versed in running and cycling but not very good swimmers.
After giving one budding tri-athlete some pointers on how to improve his breathing technique underwater, the author was encouraged by the positive feedback he received, and so continued the succeeding chapters of Good Swimming. Designed in a manner which allows beginners to start with the basics, Good Swimming may be read from start to finish or, which will probably be the case of professional swimmers, by focusing on the area one needs to improve.
Concisely, Good Swimming provides a wealth of information for people who want to learn or are just learning to swim, as well as those who need to improve their stroke, kick, and breathing. A combination of best practices and common errors are "pooled" into the pages of this book, making it an absolute necessity for people who want to be the best that they can be in this graceful and powerful sport. Experience, whether one's own or someone else's, is still the best teacher after all. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
